Akidagain Lyrics

Let the kids sing

Back in the days when I was young, I'm not a kid anymore
But some days I still wish I was a kid again
Back in the days when I was young, I'm not a kid anymore
But some days I still wish I was a kid again

Uh huh
Thinking back when things were so easy
Got me laughing out loud, for no reason
I use to take them cans back and collect them nickels
Trading Garbage Pail Kids cards for Sweet Pickles
The whole block used to have G.I. Joe battles
Yeah ya boy had the original Storm Shadow
And as of lately things have been slow
So I reminisce on when we use to break them windows
Yeah, til I got snatched by the cops
With a Wiffle Ball bat and a hand full of rocks (Wasn't me)
Consider this song a throw back
Cause all I wanna do is go back
Ya'll sing it with me

Back in the days when I was young, I'm not a kid anymore
But some days I still wish I was a kid again
Back in the days when I was young, I'm not a kid anymore
But some days I still wish I was a kid again
Back in the days when I was young, I'm not a kid anymore
But some days I still wish I was a kid again
Back in the days when I was young, I'm not a kid anymore
But some days I still wish I was a kid again

Tell em!
And this was way before PlayStation
Rushing home to watch Video Vibrations
Man I tell you Sherry Carter coulda got the business
And I can't forget Rachel from Caribbean Rhythms
This was back when Rap City used to play the jams
This is how I first heard about the Wu-Tang Clan
Banged 36 Chambers all summer long
And to this day Can It Be's my favorite summer song
And I can drop names for days
Of all my favorite artists who helped to pave the way
But, we probably need a lot more then just four minutes
So this is how I'm gonna end it
Everybody sing

Back in the days when I was young, I'm not a kid anymore
But some days I still wish I was a kid again
Back in the days when wish I was young, I'm not a kid anymore (C'mon)
But some days I still wish I was a kid again (Everybody sing)
Back in the days when I was young, I'm not a kid anymore (Yeah)
But some days I still wish I was a kid again (It's Travie)
Back in the days when I was young, I'm not a kid anymore (Nappy Boy)
But some days I still wish I was a kid again

Yeah, I'm on the bus in the back lounge
Sweaty, cold confused in another unfamiliar town
Another sold out show
Spilling my soul to a ton of people I don't know
And I can feel my skin wearing thinner
Fourth night no appetite for dinner
Shit goddamn well ain't life grand
Getting paid to stand on stage with yer heart in ya hand
Sometimes I squeeze it til they get worried
If this is Groundhog's Day I guess I'm Bill Murray
And I swear I'm not complaining at all
I love each and everyone of ya'll
All I'm really sayin' is...

Back in the days when I was young, I'm not a kid anymore (C'mon)
But some days I sit and wish I was a kid again (Everybody sing)
Back in the days when I was young, I'm not a kid anymore (C'mon)
But some days I sit and wish I was a kid again (Everybody sing)
Back in the days when I was young, I'm not a kid anymore (C'mon)
But some days I sit and wish I was a kid again (Yeah)
Back in the days when I was young, I'm not a kid anymore
But some days I sit and wish I was a kid again (Everybody sing)
Back in the days when I was young, I'm not a kid anymore (C'mon)
But some days I sit and wish I was a kid again (Nappy Boy, it's Travie)

Travis Lazarus "Travie" McCoy (born August 6, 1981 in Geneva, New York) is a rapper, singer, multi-instrumentalist and lead vocalist of the alternative hip hop group Gym Class Heroes. Signed to T-Pain's Nappy Boy Entertainment, he released his solo debut album, Lazarus, on June 8, 2010. The lead single from the album, Billionaire featuring Bruno Mars, has so far reached #4 on the Billboard Hot 100.

McCoy was born and raised in Geneva, New York. In high school, he met Matt McGinley in his gym class, and the two bonded over their love of music. They decided to start a band, and played with other musicians until Gym Class Heroes was formed in 2001. Travis made his MTV debut in the summer of 2002, as he appeared on stage at the beach house on a standard nation-wide MC Battle that was held on the MTV show Direct Effect.

McCoy was arrested on July 1, 2008 after hitting a man on the head with his microphone. The man had been in the crowd at a concert in St. Louis when he shouted racial slurs at McCoy. McCoy asked the man, "What did you just call me?" As security was removing the man from the venue, McCoy brought the man on stage to call him out in front of the crowd. In a statement, McCoy's publicist said that the man hit McCoy in his knee, which was in a brace after he had suffered a recent strain

In early March 2008, McCoy opened up about his battles with opioids. He stated that he had been addicted to pharmaceuticals since he was 15 years old.

McCoy dated singer Katy Perry, who appeared as his girlfriend in the "Cupid's Chokehold" video and toured along with his band on the Warped Tour, on and off for several years. He had given a promise ring to Perry, and when asked if this was rehearsal for an actual proposal, McCoy shrugged with a grin. The two broke up in December 2008. They began dating again in April 2009. However, they broke up a few months later.
